Need help with WinClone

[adamvk]

Basically It wont let me restore my back up 18.9GB partition in the new 32GB partition. I don't know why. I don't have any OS or anything in the new partition either. Help please?

Thanks.

OK....

But....

I am not in front of my Mac, but check your menu items
There should be an option to resize the clone

Oh, and I don't think the size of the clone file = the size of the partition it will produce
It will produce the size of the partition it was cloned from... at least I think so, even if if the clone file isn't that size

Edit: I really need to be in front of my Mac to look at this

Woof, Woof - Dawg

Are you sure you made a sparseimage of the correct partition? It would have been the 18GB, not 70GB.

What do you mean? Are you saying I copied the empty part of the partition?

edit: MacDawg, I am shrinking the partition as we speak so hopefully that will work.

Well shrinking it made it bigger 😕

Now it says its 28GB, but that still should fit in the 31.69GB partition, so what gives?

One thing I noticed is your backup image is a sparsebundle. Mine is a DMG. Any idea how it ended up that way? A sparseimage/bundle can have a size larger than the actual space used.
